TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Ruyi did not get the support she wanted and became disheartened.

"Didn't Concubine Xian solemnly swear that she was innocent? The Empress was merciful and gave you a chance to prove yourself. Why don't you thank her quickly?"

Gao Xiyue was extremely happy when she saw Ruyi’s pale face. She was such a grown-up, yet she was still talking about children.

She actually dared to say that her daughter, whom they loved like a treasure, was ill-mannered.

"Does Xianpin's silence mean she admits it?"

Faced with the relentless pressure from Langya and others, Concubine Xian could only bow her head helplessly. She was a devout believer and naturally could not swear an oath on her own people.

"Your Majesty, I, your concubine, will stay away from trouble."

"Since Concubine Xian has admitted her mistake, then..."

Hongli's expression relaxed, and he was ready to go along with it and lock Ruyi up and be done with it, but Langya didn't want her to get away with it.

Everyone knows that with the emperor's protection, Concubine Xian's house arrest is not a punishment, but rather a relaxing short vacation.

"emperor!"

Langya interrupted Hongli in time before he started to speak.

She acted particularly strong today. Hongli knew that Concubine Xian's behavior touched a mother's sensitive spot, so he didn't want to care about her disrespect.

"Concubine Xian seems to be saying that she doesn't think she's wrong, and that we're all right and wrong? She's so irresponsible and yet she's still trying to justify herself. If she's not severely punished, I'm afraid it will be hard to convince the public."

"So...what does the Queen mean?"

"Concubine Xian is so harsh on children. No wonder no one wants to be born into her womb."

Ruyi was already heartbroken because she had no children, and now that Langya had spoken it so clearly, she could not bear such a heavy blow and her body went limp and she fell to the ground.

"How could the Queen be so? As a woman, you should understand my suffering..."

Ruyi rarely failed to maintain her dignity. Although she tried hard not to show weakness in front of the enemy, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"I don't understand. Concubine Xian has also taken a lot of medicine over the years. Have you really never suspected that it's your own fault?"

[Wow, the Queen's words might stab Concubine Xian to death.]

Jin Yuyan didn't feel much about such remarks. After all, she had been taking medicine before, which was completely different from Ruyi's situation of wanting to get pregnant but not being able to.

【Actually, it is not without reason.】

[Concubine Xian seems to have been in good health, but she has no children.]

Ever since the screen appeared, Su Lujun had the same idea as Gao Xiyue. She believed that there was a god above her head and she dared not think about many things anymore.

"Queen..."

In the end, Hongli couldn't bear to see his beloved being slandered like this, so he spoke out to signal Langya to stop.

Langya snorted coldly and ignored him. "I heard that Concubine Xian has always been well versed in Buddhist scriptures. She should know that there will be retribution for verbal offenses."

"There's no need for house arrest. Every day, go to Yuhua Pavilion and kneel before the Buddha, reciting the Ksitigarbha Sutra and the Sutra of the Ten Good Deeds for two hours, and chant the Tara Mantra 108 times."

"Dedicate your daily merits loudly to the Emperor and all the princes and princesses.

"I will have Su Lian keep an eye on you. Also, Concubine Xian's monthly allowance will be reduced by half and donated to the poor people in the city to offset your karma."

"What does the Emperor think?"

Langya deliberately asked Hongli what he thought. She wanted Ruyi to realize that it was her young lover who allowed it every time she thought of this humiliation.

She didn't think that someone like Ruyi would truly recognize her own problems. Her poor environment would not punish her, but instead make her feel like a plum blossom experiencing bitter cold.

Maybe you'll even feel sorry for yourself.

Since she likes to use prayer flags and morality to punish others, she should abide by the rules of Buddhism.

This double-standard mentality of being lenient to oneself and strict with others must be broken by her lover personally.

Hongli thought about it carefully and felt that this was a very appropriate solution. Ruyi would not suffer too much, and it would also be a good compensation for his daughters.

"Just do as the Queen says."

Ruyi was already deeply moved by Langya's words, but she didn't think anything of it when she heard the chanting. She was willing to pray for her future child.

But Langya asked her to dedicate all her merits to others, which was difficult for her to accept.

Ruyi believes that people who practice Buddhism should be as quiet as a chrysanthemum and should maintain their original heart even in the harem.

But facing the relentless pressure from others, it was really difficult for her to remain calm.

Langya asked Ruyi to abide by the rules during this period, which naturally deprived her of the opportunity to sleep with the emperor.

I have to pay my respects as usual every day and accept everyone's cold stares.

"This Concubine Xian has been punished and confined before, but she's always been calm and indifferent, as if she doesn't care to argue with us. Why is she reacting so strongly to a sutra recitation?"

After paying her respects, Jin Yuyan started her daily routine of "street wandering" again, and went to find Wanpin with Gao Xiyue to get flowers.

Jingyu got a new skirt. The pattern on it was drawn by Wanpin herself. She made a whole series of them, so Gao Xiyue and the others naturally wanted to pick one out.

"You may not have heard that Concubine Xian is very pious and has always boasted of her noble character and disdain for palace fighting. Using Buddhist scriptures to punish her has indeed had an unexpected effect."

Gao Xiyue frowned slightly, and after a moment she slowly answered Jin Yuyan.

She actually couldn't remember when Concubine Xian had said that she believed in Buddhism, but she just felt that she must be a very devout believer.

"This... her previous actions are not like that!"

"Don't talk about her. This person has always been different from ordinary people. I don't understand her thoughts."

"I'm happy to see her get humiliated. How dare you say that princesses are uneducated? I think she's the most unruly one."

Similar conversations frequently appeared in various palaces, and Ruyi's already mediocre reputation became even worse. She never liked gold and silver, and the palace maids in the Yanx Palace also lived worse than others.

Naturally, I won't argue for her.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Ruiji successfully won favor by playing a pipa song in the cold wind and returned to the ranks of favorite concubines.

After learning from the last lesson, she was very honest in front of these high-ranking concubines.

Occasionally he would coax others with sweet words, and he managed to gain a foothold.

I don’t know if the Buddha heard Ruyi’s prayer wrong, but everyone in the harem announced that they were pregnant, except Ruyi.

Langya was also a little surprised when she received the news. She found it strange no matter how she looked at it.

"Boy, are you guys reliable? Why do I feel like there's another force working against the world consciousness?"

The system has been with her for such a long time, but this is the first time it has been repeatedly questioned.

But this world is indeed strange, and it had no choice but to return to the bureau in disgrace.

When she knew the truth, Langya fell silent for a rare moment.

She had never seen such an outrageous world.

"What are you saying? This dynasty has too many derivative worlds and too many original works. Add to that the history of the main worldline, and it's now a mess? Is there too much external resentment?"

"Host, don't worry. You are a regular employee. Those forces can't interfere with you no matter what. You can still take a vacation!"

"Do you think I look like a fool?"

The system is extremely anxious. This is a major mistake in their work. If the host complains, they will definitely sue.

"Really, host, the space-time barrier is not so easy to break. This little impact is nothing."

"alright."

Langya once again reluctantly extorted compensation from the system. After two attempts, she lost nothing and made a pure profit.

She is looking forward to her future life more and more, wondering what kind of monsters and demons the heroine will attract.
